Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) bearing α-glucose (α-Glc) that preferentially stimulate human invariant NKT (iNKT) cells are provided. GSLs with α-glucose (α-Glc) that exhibit stronger induction in humans (but weaker in mice) of cytokines and chemokines and exp

A highly efficient synthesis of the biologically important fluorescent probe dansyl α-GalCer is presented. Key in our strategy is the incorporation of the fluorescent dansyl group at an early stage in the synthesis to facilitate in the monitoring and purification of intermediates via TLC and flash column chromatography, respectively, and the use of a high yielding α-selective glycosylation reaction between the phytosphingosine lipid and a galactosyl iodide donor. The ability of dansyl α-GalCer to activate iNKT cells and to serve as a fluorescent marker for the uptake of glycolipid by dendritic cells is also presented.

Phytosphingosine and its short-chain analog were efficiently synthesized with 19% overall yield in 10 steps, respectively, starting from an inexpensive d-lyxose. Galactosyl donors of sulfide and phosphite types bearing benzoyl protecting groups of 4- and

Phytosphingosine was synthesized from the commercially available D-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-lyxofuranose in 28% overall yield by a six-step procedure. This procedure is expedient and flexible for introduction of other lipid moieties on the phytosphingosine structure to make a variety of derivatives that can support the further exploration of their related biological functions.
